principal stylesheet module

From XSL Transformations (XSLT) 2.0 (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

A stylesheet may consist of several stylesheet modules, contained in different XML documents. For a given transformation, one of these functions as the principal stylesheet module. The complete stylesheet is assembled by finding the stylesheet modules referenced directly or indirectly from the principal stylesheet module using xsl:include and xsl:import elements: see and .
simplified stylesheet module

From XSL Transformations (XSLT) 2.0 (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

A simplified stylesheet module is a tree, or part of a tree, consisting of a literal result element together with its descendant nodes and associated attributes and namespaces. This element is not itself in the XSLT namespace, but it must have an xsl:version attribute, which implies that it must have a namespace node that declares a binding for the XSLT namespace. For further details see .

style sheet

From Glossary of Cascading Style Sheets, level 2 CSS2 Specification (1998-05-12) | Glossary for this source

style sheets

From Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (1999-05-05) | Glossary for this source

A style sheet is a set of statements that specify presentation of a document. Style sheets may have three different origins: they may be written by content providers, created by users, or built into user agents. In CSS ([CSS2]), the interaction of content provider, user, and user agent style sheets is called the cascade.Presentation markup is markup that achieves a stylistic (rather than structuring) effect such as the B or I elements in HTML. Note that the STRONG and EM elements are not considered presentation markup since they convey information that is independent of a particular font style.
stylesheet

From XSL Transformations (XSLT) 2.0 (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

A transformation in the XSLT language is expressed in the form of a stylesheet, whose syntax is well-formed XML conforming to the Namespaces in XML Recommendation .
stylesheet function

stylesheet level

From XSL Transformations (XSLT) 2.0 (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

A stylesheet level is a collection of stylesheet modules connected using xsl:include declarations: specifically, two stylesheet modules A and B are part of the same stylesheet level if one of them includes the other by means of an xsl:include declaration, or if there is a third stylesheet module C that is in the same stylesheet level as both A and B.
stylesheet modules

From XSL Transformations (XSLT) 2.0 (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

stylesheet parameter

From XSL Transformations (XSLT) 2.0 (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

valid style sheet

From Glossary of Cascading Style Sheets, level 2 CSS2 Specification (1998-05-12) | Glossary for this source

The validity of a style sheet depends on the level of CSS used for the style sheet. All valid CSS1 style sheets are valid CSS2 style sheets. However, some changes from CSS1 mean that a few CSS1 style sheets will have slightly different semantics in CSS2. A valid CSS2 style sheet must be written according to the grammar of CSS2. Furthermore, it must contain only at-rules, property names, and property values defined in this specification. An illegal (invalid) at-rule, property name, or property value is one that is not valid.
XSL (Extensible style sheet language)

From Glossary of "Weaving the Web" (1999-07-23) | Glossary for this source
